really on a lark and the obama people followed. they put in 3.5 million. >> woodruff: can i just say, mark, though, it wasn't just the money but the capped dates' time. >> i agree. that's right. >> woodruff: at any stage of the campaign it's where do you put the candidate. >> that's right. woodruff: maybe they felt they had made so many trips to ohio they couldn't... >> there were two interpretations of that. one is they're confident they would win pennsylvania. the other is they're desperate. they know they're going to lose ohio. >> ifill: or it's another fire wall in case they lose ohio, why not? >> in ohio and in pittsburgh where he went, it does get you into eastern ohio. >> the media market. at's right. that media market. so it was not a totally wasted. it wasn't like layer me, wyoming. >> they're guessing like the rest of us. >> woodruff: i'm not trying to play political strategist here but why not spend more time in virginia or spend more time in florida, two states you really do need if you're going to win this election? >>
